Election for 22nd Knesset is about two weeks away, on September 17, 2019. The latest poll shows that Benny Gantz’s Blue & White party is the largest party, overtaking Likud. The poll also shows that Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beitenu party continue growing, and it remains clear that barring the possibility of Likud and Blue & White joining forces, both of the parties will not be able to form a coalition government without the inclusion of Lieberman and his party.
The poll released was conducted by the Magar Mochot Institute for i24NEWS.
